sweet mending satisfaction

20121118-163248.jpg

A friend sent me a photo of her daughter’s dress and asked the best way to fix it. She was either going to finish it on the machine or add ric rac to cover the frayed ends.

I told her to bring it over. There were a few dropped stitches that I fixed with a crochet hook. Then I hand-sewed the rest with matching thread and duplicate stitches.

It’s not perfect, but I have to admit that I was kind of impressed with my own work.

Does anyone else get this excited over mending? Please tell me I’m not the only one!
